Customer Master Data from ECC to GTS

[ann_mendoza]

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to push customer master data from ECC to GTS at the time the customer is created. Currently, we're using a batch job that sends the data at incremental times (program RBDMIDOC, variant DEBMAS). We're currently on ECC 6.0 and GTS 7.2. Thanks.

Hi

in the ECC once GTS plug in installed you will find the TCODE: /SAPSLL/MENU_LEGALr3 where you will find the tab for initial transfer for master data.

Tcode should be /SAPSLL/DEBMAS_DIRR3

before using this tcode certain ALE config needs to be maintained

Hi,

use user exit EXIT_SAPMF02D_001calling initial transfer for selected customer. Whenever user saves customer it transfers data to GTS. Probably some nice yes/no pop-up can be implemented whether to transfer customer or not.

When implemented compliance functionality i suggest than synchronous screening. Advanced enhancement to get status of blocked/not blocked result within pop-up.

Of course you need to think of locking entries and "what if GTS is not available" scenario.

Not sure if at your business you need to have your customers in GTS before you create an order against them, but if you just need the Customers in GTS by the time they will appear on a sales document, you can instead transfer them whenever the sales order is saved.

You can accomplish this by calling the Initial Transfer of Customers program (program /SAPSLL/DEBMAS_DISTRIBUTE_R3) in a user exit at document save. If the record already exists, GTS just updates any changed data so there is no harm in pushing one that already exists.

Though this probably shouldn't be the driver for this design, an added bonus of this is that if you have an exceptionally large customer base, you only need to add customers to GTS as you use them. Thus, you don't need to store old customers in GTS who you will potentially never do business with again.

Hello,

unfortunately there is no other solution than scheduling background job for change pointers report RBDMIDOC.
